All it takes is a good haircut.

About Me

About Me: I run an independent music magazine called No-Fi "Magazine" which I started back in 96. In 2002 we added an online weekly radio show called no-fi "radio". You can get to either of them by going to http:// www.nofimagazine.com or http://www.nofiradio.com (they are both linked together in one way or another). I'm always looking to meet new bands, writers, artists, interesting people, etc...just as long as they are nice. I like to go to shows, watch weird movies, hang out with friends, have parties, go on trips to strange places (san pedro bunkers or exotic world anyone?). I am almost desperate to visit japan again to go toy shopping.

My Interests

independent music, labels, bands, movies, robots, ear muffs, 70s headphones, zines, tokyo, japan, kitty-cats, weird dvds, japanese toys, kubricks, monsterisms, godzilla, video games, atari 2600, dreamcast, shag, junko mizuno, coop, nara, skateboarding
